  Self-Healing Polymer Nanocomposites: A Comprehensive Review of Design Strategies, Mechanisms, and Emerging Applications

  By Ankush Kumar Jain, Akash Panwar

  Abstract: Self-healing polymer nanocomposites (SHPNs) are a new class of materials that can autonomously repair themselves to prolong their lifetime and improve their application performance. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview of the design strategies, healing mechanisms, and emerging applications of SHPNs. Incorporating nanofillers (nanoparticles, nanofibers, and/or nanotubes) into polymer matrices leads to requisite functionalization that significantly enhances mechanical properties and is essential in self-healable products including improved cross-linking, high dispersion, …
